Sure do. What you need is a triple cappuccino. Problem is how do you get 
a triple when the best most cappuccino machines can do is a double? Well, 
first you have to replace the nylon overpressure washer with a 
chrome-moly unit. Then put a jumper on the thermostat, and change to plug 
to fit a 220v socket. Take the filter and ram the coffee in with a wood 
dowel and mallet. Beat it down good and firm. Screw in the filter, plug 
her in and stand back about 10 or 15 feet in case she blows. The best 
thing about this system is you don't need no fancy-shmansy coffee, you 
can put just about anything in it and get a buzz. Personally, I use old 
ground-up steel belted radials. I drink mine before the dive, then I can 
take 10 or so lbs off my weight belt.I'm working on a system using a 
scuba tank. I figure just unscrew the valve, pour in some coffee (or 
whatever), some water, maybe a dash of chicory, close. Heat the bottom of 
the tank with a hog torch for 5 or 10 minutes. When the pressure hits 
2000 psi, put on your reg, stick it in your mouth, hit the purge button 
and.... What a way to greet the mornin'!
